Tamdura Capsule PR is a combination of two medicines: Tamsulosin and Dutasteride, which relieves the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Tamsulosin is an alpha-blocker.

Dutasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor which helps in shrinking the prostate by decreasing the level of the hormone which helps the prostate gland grow.

Hi lybrate-user, I am sorry to know about your stone problem. Since the stone is causing hydronephrosis, I think it is in the ureter (the tube connecting kidney to urinary bladder). Any hydronephrosis lasting more than 4 weeks can cause permanent damage to the kidney. If the pain and hydronephrosis have been there for only a few days to weeks, you can try medical expulsive therapy using alpha-blockers like Tamsulosin. If the ultrasound shows features of kidney damage or if the stone is in upper ...more

Enlarged prostate does not 'shrink' away with tamlocept. It only helps in easing passage of urine. Stopping it will most likely lead to symptom recurrence, as has occured in your case.
Consult urologist. Get at least uroflometry and uss kubp done before restarting medicine.

No itâs bph. Which is age related. Nothing to worry. But you have not mentioned symptoms. Moreover bph is not the cause of back pain. They are both different issues. Homeopathy is a very effective for this problem n has very encouraging results. And homeopathic medicines are safe and do not have any side effects at all.

Alpha blockers are very effective in reducing urimary flow problems in prostatic hyperplasia and some of them also they help reducing size causing programmed cell death of cells. Now some of them like tamsulosin may cause retrograde ejaculation. Some of them cause dizziness, hypotension, priapism and impotence rarely. But they do not generally affect morning erection. Morning erection is physiological and occur when you wake up after rem sleep. Anxiety may be cause of absence of it. So stop over...more
